- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

The process
The cooking is part of the entertainment. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. In Rowlands Castle, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It’s served quickly, then we pack down.
How to prepare
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Arrange parking near the cooking spot
- Give us your final numbers and diets
